NO CONNECTION WITS ANY OTHER FIRM. 
A T the Annual General Meeting of the 
supporters of this Institution, held at the 
Cannon Street Hotel on Friday, July 18th, it 
was unanimously resolved to specially com¬ 
memorate the services rendered to the Fund 
by the late chairman of the Executive Com¬ 
mittee, by granting the benefits of the Fund to 
the seven orphan children who had that day 
failed to secure election. 
To enable the Committee to put these seven 
children on the Fund, the sum of £598 is 
required; and the chairman, Mr. Sherwood, on 
behalf of Mr. Harry J. Yeitch and himself, 
made the munificent offer that if a minimum 
sum of £250 was raised among the subscribers, 
they would jointly undertake to provide the 
remainder. 
At the Annual Dinner, the chairman, Mr. 
Shirley Hibberd, strongly urged that the most 
generous offer of Mr. Sherwood and Mr. Yeitch 
should be promptly and heartily acknowledged 
by a special effort to raise the sum required in 
order to pay a graceful tribute to the memory 
of their late friend. 
The appeal thus made was readily responded 
to, among other subscriptions announced being_
